A little over a year ago, we made the fateful decision to produce a new Question of the Day for every day during the school year. Over 250 questions later, we're still going strong. I thought it would be fun to go back and see what questions garnered the most pageviews to try and tease out some themes.
Announcing NGPF's top 10 Questions of the Day since October 15, 2017:
10. What's the average lifespan of a toy fad?
9, What color car is more costly to insure: red or black?
8. What are teens spending more money on—food or clothes?
7. What 3 jobs are projected to be the fastest growing over the next decade?
6. What percent of Americans don't pay their credit card bill in full each month?
5. What percent of Gen Z (14-21 year olds) have a payment app on their phone?
4. What percent of Americans do not receive a steady paycheck?
3. What college major provides graduates with the highest median CAREER earnings?
2. What percent of people age 75 and older are still working?
1. What Percentage of High School Seniors Have A Driver's License?
Monthly Musings: Who Are Your Competitors?
Question of the Day: Over a recent 15 year period, what percent of professionals investing in large companies "beat the market?"
Question of the Day: What percent of Gen Z holiday shoppers plan to shop during Thanksgiving week?
Question of the Day: What's the average cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for ten?
Question of the Day: What is the average interest rate on current credit card accounts?
Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
